Spoked to my family this morning and I tend to get the same questions all the time...'when are you coming back?'...umm..not for a while mum...áre you ok'?', 'Yes mum', 'have you been making your food at home?', Ýes mum'. 'hows work?'', ''Good mum'', "you take care of yourself ok", "Yes, mum', - these are the sorts of questions my family asked everytime I talk to them - it's like our phone conversation is taped each time, but nontheless it's always good to hear their voices, especially my grandma as she tends to yell on the phone when she's talking (ma, even though I'm on the other side, no need to yell I can hear ya!)
On a different note, a friend sent me an email and said that she was worried about me because I hadn't posted in my blog for a few days. I realize that I posted something a few weeks ago. Firstly, I don't really think my life is interesting enough that people want to read a blog entry every day and a half (for those who find my blog enthralling...just kiddin). Secondly, I don't want people to become "overwhelmed" by the amount of stuff I am posting. Finally, because I don't want to set any expectations that anyone should expect that kind of frequency in the future as some of you know, I tend to be lazy..hehe. Anyway, a quick blog entry to say that I am fine. I've been busy, but just not in a way that's interesting in a blog entry.
Hope everyone is doing well and that I'm all OK....

Missing Home...
Landing in London two and a half months ago (doesn't seem like it!) I'm beginning to miss the comfort of home. Sure, I miss my family and friends, but it's the 'little' things that I'm starting to miss. So as this title suggest, this entry is dedicated to what I miss back at home.. **violin playing in the background**
- I miss my mum's home cooking (you can stop smiling mum!)
- I miss not needing to clean the bathroom everytime after having a shower. Living with flatmates, you gotta remove your hair from the bathroom, wipe it clean after use, yadda yadda yadda...(ok, Peou you can stop nodding your head and laughing!)
- I miss DRIVING!!. Catching the tube every morning to work is starting to get on my nerves, especially how my train line is extending their rail tracks until next year! and do you know what that means?! Overcrowding, which means sweaty armpits, body odour, being squashed, smacked....I had a lady stand at the back of me and her bottom and my bottom were almost rubbing together everytime the train moved!! I'm glad that it wasn't a guy (a cute one maybe!) wink wink!!
- I miss just coming home from work and the food is ready. It's difficult deciding what to make, especially how you don't know how to cook besides noodles and stir fry and to top it of gained 3kgs! they call it the ''Heathrow Injection" - I'll explain later..
- I miss actually talking to people on the phone. Hard to believe, but 3 weeks since starting my new job I haven't once picked up the phone to take or make a call! I've been mostly working on spreadsheets and my excel skills are developing! I didn't know that you can split two worksheets and see them both on the one screen! learn something new everyday!!
- I miss my collection of DVD's - especially The Golden Girls, hey it's a classic!
- I miss my room, pillow, bed - it's just a whole lot bigger and rommier...is that a word?
- I miss twisties, cheese and bacon balls, pearl tea (they don't have it here!) actually there's one in Chinatown, but it's not very good. Where's Ezyway when you need one! (Ves, send me some chips!)
- Strange as it may sound, but I miss Sydney's water..yeh, yeh, laugh all you want, but the water here is funny...no wonder my hair has been falling out more than usual these days....and noo..it isn't my shampoo and there's no stress...hmmm...no wonder it annoys me that I gotta remove my hair strands each time I see it on the bathroom floor.. and i'm not going bald okies!?! I've got enough hair on my head thank you!
- I miss laos food. Paw paw salad, ox tongue, raw beef salad (my mouth is watering just thinking about it!) **good old times yeh Lane**
- I miss not being able to dry my clothes outside - my landlord didn't get a tumble dryer as she has heard stories of them blowing up..! so gotta dry my clothes inside the room..it isn't too bad, just as long as you open the window and wash your clothes in HOT water so they dry faster...
- I miss seeing my cousins Darren and Julie arguing for no reason...
- I miss random shopping with my bro.. (Ves, you can stop spewing now!)
- and lastly, I just miss my family, the sarcastic humour and everyday laughs...
However, having said that I'm not ready to leave just yet, I'm just getting started...
Until next time...over and out!
